...with the Triadisches Ballet!
One of my favorites. The Triadisches Ballet is a ballet developed by Oskar Schlemmer. The ballet became the most widely performed and one of the most avant-garde artistic dance ballets, and while Schlemmer was at the Bauhaus from 1921 to 1929, the ballet toured, helping to spread the ethos of the Bauhaus. I have always enjoyed it. Now you understand what it's like in my mind!!! Just throw in a few naked men and your there. Very visually stunning. Enjoy the show kids!
Wow.... It's a bit like Fantasia. I wonder how it would register if you watched it high?
ReplyDeleteSounds Stravinsky ish
ReplyDeleteI agree with Big.
ReplyDeleteIt gives me Fantasia. Bauhaus was a very particular movement and this looks fab.

I don't get high anymore, but this would definitely do things to my mind if I did.
ReplyDeleteI have watched this in the past. Adore. Very creative. Very unique. I like the mix of aesthetics. Thanks for sharing. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI like most ballet music but the dancing itself leaves me cold; I have no joy in watching people ruin their feet.
ReplyDeleteSchlemmer’s ballet came at a time of experiments in dance in Germany with the likes of dance innovators and pioneers: Rudolph von Laban, Harald Kreutzberg, Mary Wigman, Hanya Holm, Kurt Jooss.
ReplyDeleteThe Bauhaus was originally founded in Weimar in 1919 and moved to Dessau in 1925 at the behest of aircraft magnet Hugo Junkers, who funded the construction of its campus. (both Schlemmer and Junkers would run afoul of the Nazis) In 1932 the Dessau campus was closed, the school then moved to Berlin where the Bauhaus remained until 1933 when it was pressured into closing for good by the Nazis. Like many other artists, Schlemmer was forced into a form of internal exile in Germany by the Nazi regime, their art condemned and not allowed to be shown in public. Schlemmer had designed the Bauhaus emblem of a worker’s profile in abstract.

I find that whole inter-war era of Weimar Berlin utterly fascinating (if a bid sad, when one thinks what may have been, had the Nazis not killed it all off) - and the Triadisches Ballet in particular! Fab-u-lous! Jx
